I have a friend in Panama who's studying English. He just learned the idiomatic phrase, "in high cotton." I'm going to send him a link to your blog so he can see some photos of life in the cotton country.

I had to laugh yesterday. I needed a vintage photo of someone at a typewriter. I searched and searched through Google images, and finally found the perfect one of a woman. Guess where it came from? Yep. Your site, right here! So, I plunked it into my post with a link back to your post -- it's the one with the secretary who was discovered to have had that prosthetic arm. My hope is that it will lead a few more people back here to your blog.

About Me

I grew up in West Texas, and could not wait to get away. I got away, and went to the University of Texas, and then on to Stanford. I saw the world, and decided what I really wanted was to be in West Texas. So here I am, right back where I started. I had it all, and found it was not that great.

I have been an avid collector of old photographs and documents for over 30
years. The photographs on this site are derived from material I have collected
over the years. Some came from old family albums, some from material I bought at
flea markets over the years, and some from government archives of public domain
images, including the US Library of Congress, and the National Archives. We
appreciate you visiting this blog, and hope you find it interesting.
